what is his thinking..well like the article said you can see how they locked him down longterm so cheap.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers visit the White House next week, they’ll do it without one of the men primarily responsible for their sixth Super Bowl title: Linebacker James Harrison.

“This is how I feel — if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl,” Harrison said. “As far as I’m concerned, [Obama] would’ve invited Arizona if they had won.”

Um.

Um.

Um.

James, are you OK? Have you suffered any recent blunt trauma to the brain box?

It’s a ritual in this country that the major-league teams winning championships are invited to the White House for a visit.

So, yeah, the invitation applies only to the Super Bowl champs. It’s one of the things that make the accomplishment special.

And, no, the President doesn’t have the time or the desire to invite the 31 teams that didn’t win the Super Bowl to conduct seven-on-sevens in the Rose Garden. (After all, that might cut into the time he has allotted to work on his NCAA brackets.)

But, hey, at least we now have a better understand of how the Steelers got Harrison to sign a long-term deal worth only $51 million.

What's the problem? He has somewhat of a point. Obama doesn't care about any of them, it's only about which team had more points at the end. It's not like meeting the president is some sort of award or something. Who wants to go meet some douchebag that isn't really interested in who you are?

Are you guys honestly mistaking excessive pride for "pontential" mental problems? You guys make it seem as if you've never seen a professional football player with a bloated sense of self-worth.

lmfao.. for real man? The team won the Superbowl, so yeah, I guess you're right- they did "have more points in the end". Way to downplay what every team hopes in February. To have more points than the other team for every game, even that Superbowl thing. You're right though, it's not an award... It's not the trophy at the end of the game. But it is a tradition. Not a tough concept here.

So since it's tradition, Harrison coming out saying "Invite us when we don't win the Superbowl" is idiotic, so no, he doesn't have a point. He missed the point. The point is, and only is, every Superbowl team meets the president. Hence, why the Steelers are doing so.

If you don't want to meet the President, so be it. But to go on a rant about some douchebag who doesn't really want to meet you is a bit over the top. Err... Way over the top. This shouldn't be an issue at all. Go meet the President or don't.

Btw, Obama is a big sports fan so you're more wrong than right in saying "Who wants to go meet some douchebag that isn't really interested in who you are?"

And on your last statement, are you honestly making this an issue like it doesn't happen every year? If the guy, or you, doesn't want to meet the President, don't go. But to rant on this is crazy... About the title of this thread.... I'm sure the original poster was using a little exaggeration...

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Im very similar to Ron in being a company/league man. But that ends after the third head hit, I would have lost my religion. Then after I got kicked out of the game, Id 100% be dropping nukes in the after-game presser. fug you fine me whatever, I am going to protect my QB and since logic and reason isn't being used, I can be the bad guy.  The replays showed clear evidence, Id feel no shame in cussing out a crew of chicken poo refs. In fact Id tell the video staff to play infractions on a split screen during my press conference.

      And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

      Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
